One additional - as noted, it's been 26 years since Java's founding. Project Loom has been around since at least 2018 and still has no release date. It'll be cool for Java projects whenever it comes out, but I just...have a hard time caring right now. I can't use it for old codebases currently, and new codebases I'm not using one request per Java thread anyway (tbh - when it's my choice I'm not choosing the JVM at all). The space has moved, and continues to move. In no way to say the JVM shouldn't be adopting the good ideas that come along the way, that is one of the benefits of being as conservative and glacial in adoption as it is, but I just...don't get excited about them, or find myself in any position in relation to the JVM (Java specifically, but the fundamentals affect other languages) other than "ugh, this again".
